We use Lothar Thomas "Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics" on our duty biochemist desk but it might be a bit expensive for individual purchase.

Subject: Re: book: guide to laboratory tests
I actually have this book and I think it's quite useful as a rapid guide to
tests.
Tests are in alphabetical order and it says what the test is for, reference
ranges, sample type required, interferences (in vivo and in vitro) and
diagnostic information (conditions in which the analyte may be raised or
low), all very short and concise.
I have to say though that there have been a few specialist tests that I
haven't found in it (e.g. tryptase). Also a bit confusing can be the
american spelling and sometimes interference is mentioned for analysers
that I do not know - possibly commonly used at the other side of the
Atlantic but not here?
Hope it helps!

Please respond to Florent
Crepineau
Dear all,
I have looked through the archives and could not find an answer to my
question. I am rather new to the field of Clinical Chemistry and I am
looking for a book that I could use as a guide to laboratory tests. While
browsing I found the Tietz Clinical Guide to Laboratory Tests. Would you
recommend it? If not what book would you recommend?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards
